Motorola Launches New Products at Las Vegas Show

DUBAI - Continuing its leadership in broadband technologies, Motorola has launched the new update of its innovative Communications Convergence Engine (CCE) — the software behind next-generation TV. The CCE combines the convenience and ubiquity of classic TV with the control and personalisation of the Internet.

Motorola launched its new products at the world’s largest 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vagas, USA recently. Talking to Khaleej Times, Motorola’s spokeperson in the UAE, informed that these products would be available throughout the world including Middle East and the UAE.

The Storefront 1.0 update brings new options to the entire process of marketing and bundling IPTV, Internet and physical goods. The CCE update will also help network operators deliver services such as video and gaming. Motorola wi4 WiMAX CPEi 775 which was launched at the show is an all-in-one access device that combines a high performing WiMAX 802.16e modem with an integrated Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g router, VoIP ATA ports for voice calling, and an Ethernet port. The CPEi 775 has a sleek, ultra-thin form factor with a variety of eye-catching colours.

“As mobile WiMAX networks proliferate globally, service providers are looking for ways to leverage the speed and performance of WiMAX for more advanced services,” said Charles Riggle, senior director of strategy and business development, Motorola Global. WiMAX devices, Motorola Home & Networks Mobility. “It takes considerable know-how to put two different radio technologies together in a single package with internal antennas and not suffer from interference or degraded throughput. With the CPEi 775, we are able to provide high performance in a very attractive form factor.”

The second generation CPEi 775 follows the award winning CPEi 850, and once again raises the bar on performance for the rest of the industry.

By incorporating adaptive switching techniques, the CPEi 775 does not need to be rotated for optimal signal strength, allowing easier installation. With some of the most advanced antenna designs available today, the CPEi 775 sets new standards for device transmit power and receive sensitivity — two factors that have a big impact on a network operator’s bottom line, and the number of cells required to provide coverage.

“Multimedia-dependent consumers keep a close eye on the evolving capabilities of wireless broadband and increase their expectations at a rapid pace: not just more, faster data, but data wherever, however, and whenever they want it,” Riggle added.

“Motorola’s success in this industry comes from our ability to meet these demands, and this new product illustrates that by connecting Wi-Fi devices to a WiMAX network.”
